Hooker Headers listed some many years ago. They were not emissions-legal, and had no tie-in for the air injection. Best bet is to use some Magnum Dakota truck headers and y-pipe, tie in the air injection to a high flow catalytic converter. Second best bet is the 1992-early 1993 Magnum exhausts (getting rare). Third best is later Magnum exhausts...which can be improved with a trip to the ExtrudeHone people. Drill and tap the the heads (air injection ports), block them with 1/4 inch bolts. That is, if emissions are an issue. Otherwise, just grab the Magnum truck headers, lose the air injection altogether (block the ports as mentioned), and enjoy.

Well, seeing that the cat is gone off my truck, and I'm in WV, I guess I can get some Magnum headers. :)

And if you decide to up the ante, get these heads P4876179 (ready to bolt on with springs good for .500 lift, and Magnum-like flow numbers without a Magnum head conversion) a good roller cam with specs similar to the CompCams Xtreme Energy 268 flat tappet cam, and bliss can be yours. Well, you'd need a better induction system. The stock setup would never be up to the task.
